Second kid 'easier said than done'

Many parents say they lack financial resources to expand their families

For most families in China, a major change to the national family planning policy is dramatically altering their lives.

The central government's recent decision at the Third Plenary Session of the 18th Communist Party of China Central Committee will allow families to have two children if one of the parents is an only child. Prior to the amendment, couples could only have two children if both of the parents were the only child in their families.
